I'M EXCITED to share my second Dispatch with new links, appearances and workshops to announce.

But first, let's talk about the image above. That's from an all-hands meeting at LifeLock I sketchnoted in January. I love that quote so much, I've created an 11 x 17 poster from the art you can download and print. Grab the PDF and enjoy.

♥ Creating Content with Markdown Video - Markdown Jedi Brett Terpstra uses video to teach markdown, a lightweight writing syntax that makes a plain text file the easiest way to create formatted HTML, PDF, and even Word documents (yuck). I wrote both of my books in markdown and loved every minute of it. Save 35% on Brett's video with code PEACHPIT35.
